W5 at W1


Hikaru79: Is this it? You said that the snapback doesn't capture, only makes a cut you can take advantage of later, but I don't see anything wrong with this solution...

W5 at W1

unkx80: Consider B4?

W5 at W1

Hikaru79: In that case, W5 threatens the other group. Even if black decides to ignore...

B6 at @

Then white frees up some liberties and the group dies anyways, I think...

What about this?

I just thought of this option... black lives. I guess my solution was wrong after all... *gets to work on a new one*

[Diagram]

I know! After W5 connects, the group is dead, right?

[Diagram]

unkx80: Yes, answer to B6?

[Diagram]

Just connect at W7. The eye is false, and the group is completely cut off. Dead stones, right?

unkx80: Yeah. =)
